1 ✨ good morning.

Taehyung has missed this. Missed the sight of waking up next to the gorgeous sight of his husband sleeping, it's been a long month away on business. The struggles of operating a world wide fashion empire, it's worth it though.

Only because he loves his job and loves the life it allows him to create for them. Nothing makes Taehyung feel better than the look on Jungkook's face when he surprises him with something...be it clothes or a trip or even a snack from the convenient store.

There was a time in their lives, the beginning of their relationship when times were hard. So hard they'd often have to split meals, just to make sure they both survived. Trying to make it in an industry that kicks you while your down was near impossible.

But Jungkook, oh Jungkook never for a second doubted Taehyung. Always kept pushing him to keep going, even when their good friend Seokjin offered Taehyung a job with his modeling agency--it was good pay and they could finally stop sleeping on Seokjin's couch.

Jungkook never would've let him though, he always told Taehyung that they haven't been living the life they'd been for all these years for him to give up so soon. The way he scrunched his nose and cupped Taehyung's cheeks before kissing him..the way he never let his smile falter.

Taehyung often wonders if Jungkook knows that he never would've survived without him? He would've given up the first time his designs were rejected and immediately gone to an average desk job.

So yeah, Taehyung sneaking in their two story home at 3 in the morning to find his husband curled up on their king sized mattress? It's a dream. He should be exhausted but he isn't, he just slips off his slacks...staying only in his shirt and boxers, so that he can feel Jungkook's skin against his own.

His heart tugs in happiness when Jungkook immediately rolls to face him, hand unconsciously clutching onto his shirt and face nuzzling into his chest. God, he loves him so much. Taehyung stays like this, allowing his arm to trace various shapes along Jungkook's back for hours.

Occasionally running his fingers through his hair, and when the sun begins to rise and there's the faintest glow seeping in through their rich silk curtains, he can't help it when he rolls over. Just barely hovering his body over his gorgeous husband, allowing the back of his hand to caress the softness of his cheek.

Before bringing his fingers to tilt Jungkook's chin up towards him, so softly kissing his lips. Oh those plush lips that he's missed for a month too long. He pulls away after the first one, watches Jungkook's eyes furrow in confusion..before he leans in again. Kissing him a second time, then a third, then a fourth time but the fourth time is more firm.

He lets his lips linger until finally he feels movement back. A hand rises to rest on the small of his back and pull his body down. Taehyung feels his own lips curling when Jungkook's smile is evident through their kiss.

He pulls away and watches the way Jungkook's eyes slowly open, "Good morning bun" he murmurs, letting his mouth trace along his husband's jawline as soft sighs leave his mouth.

The strong hand that was resting on his lower back is now holding him tight, seemingly terrified he'll disappear "you're home"

Taehyung smiles then, his heart is so warm "I am" leaning down to leave another soft kiss on Jungkook's lips "finally"

Jungkook laughs breathily then capturing Taehyung's lips once more "this is my favorite way to wake up"

2 ✨ good night.

Knocking on his apartment door is what causes Jungkook to interrupt his Haikyuu binge. Reluctantly opening the door, he immediately smiles at the sight of his neighbor, Taehyung. They've hung out a lot and if he's honest, Jungkook thinks the man is the most gorgeous thing in the world...but he'll never admit it.

"Kookie! I need your help!" he pushes right past the man and enters the room, this has happened more often than one would think so Jungkook just laughs. Sits on the couch and listens as Taehyung rants on and on about how it's their DUTY as neighbors and cool young adults to arrange a party for the kids in the complex.

It's halloween but the storm advisory has made it to where no one is allowed to be trick or treating and Taehyung's child loving heart just can't handle this. Which is exactly how Jungkook finds himself in the middle of the shopping centre. Picking out a costume for himself and Taehyung while the other is filling a cart with way too much candy.

Jungkook finds everything about Taehyung so endearing, from the way he carefully chooses various candy types to appease all children to the way he makes sure to pick cool decorations, to give them the full Halloween experience.

The fondness in his chest has been brewing for awhile now, he figures he's had a miniscule crush on Taehyung since the day he moved in but it just keeps growing and growing. Especially in moments like this one where Taehyung plops right on his desk with a pout on his face.

"C'mon, we've gotta slide all of these invites to the neighbors!" and then he's getting up, hand grabbing onto Jungkook's as they filter throughout the hallways. Sliding the little invitations Taehyung crafted with too much glitter under all of their neighbors doors.

It's nearing 5 pm when Taehyung says he'll be right back, grabbing onto the bag with his costume and going where Jungkook assumes is to his own apartment to get ready. Leaving Jungkook alone with his thoughts. As he slips into his make shift detective conan costume, he stops to think for a moment.

He's never considered what if Taehyung likes him back? They spend a lot of time together and Taehyung is always very clingy to him. So maybe? No. Of course not. Taehyung is way out of his league. Jungkook shakes his head as he hears the familiar knocking on his door again.

Taehyung standing there clad in his black cloak and velvet choker and Jungkook nearly chokes himself, "Jungkookie warn a guy!! You're so cute" with the soft tickle of his chin and then he's twisting on his heels "Let's go to the commons! The kids should be down there soon"

Taehyung does everything with so much passion and excitement, Jungkook can't help the way he feels when he follows along. Watching with a big goofy smile as Taehyung interacts with all of the kids, bringing them one by one to Jungkook to do their trick or treating.

A couple hours swiftly pass by and the kids are heading towards their room, all stopping to hug their Taehyungie and Jungkookie and thanking them for the 'bestest halloween ever'. Some of the parents came back to help them clean up, which the two weren't expecting but are thankful for.

Once the commons area is finally clean they begin the trec up to their floor, Taehyung spending the entire time talking about the kids and all of their costumes, meanwhile Jungkook is lost in admiration of Taehyung's beauty and the way his eyes turn to crescents as he smiles.

Stopping in front of Taehyung's door, Jungkook feels his heart pounding because normally he would say 'see ya' and turn inside but Taehyung is just kind of standing there. Hands behind his back and gnawing on his bottom lip.

"Thanks for your help, Jungkookie. You didn't have to do all of this with me, but you did and I think it made everyone really happy." Jungkook can see pink rising to Taehyung's cheek in time with the heat he feels rising in his own when he takes a step closer.

"I'd do anything for you Tae" he smiles softly then, the tips of his shoes meet Taehyung's when he looks up at him "you're really, really beautiful" the words are quiet, part of him thinks he's an idiot.

But those thoughts go away immediately when Taehyung's eyes widen but a smile curls on his lips "you're pretty beautiful yourself" the man tries to retort, but his voice wavers a little and Jungkook knows he isn't mistaking anything when he sees the way Taehyung's eyes just barely flicker down to his lips.

So he takes his chance, leans in slowly before he places a barely there peck on Taehyung's lips, "goodnight Taehyungie" and then he's gnawing on his own lip and smiling like a fool before he hastily makes his way to the other side of the hall and inside his own door.

Gliding down it the moment it's closed, thinking about the sight of Taehyung's flushed cheeks and fingers touching his own lips. There's a soft knocking on his door that startles him, no. no. no.

He opens it though, taken by surprise when Taehyung's soft hands cup his cheeks and he's kissed quickly. Then Taehyung whispers "goodnight" against his lips and he's gone. Turns back from his own door to wave with a shy smile before closing the door.

Jungkook agrees with all of the kids, Best. Halloween. Ever.

6 ✨ on a falling tear.

"Tae-" Jungkook tries to speak but the man shakes his head, "no, it's okay.. Honestly, I mean. I should've seen it coming right? You're /you/ and I'm /me/ like we're total opposites.."

"Taehyung.. That's not--"

"No really, Koo it's fine. You don't have to sympathize with me. The last three years have been really great. I get it, everyone has to move on at some point. Your time is now." he sniffles then, arms crossed as he goes to turn "just.. I'll come back for my stuff later, just I'm gonna go"

"Kim Taehyung, don't you dare walk out that door!" Jungkook shouts and jolts from the bed, how did they get here? Man he really sucks with words.

"Jungkook, let me go." Taehyung huffs out when arms wrap around his stomach "you're hurting me more by doing this" he whispers, Jungkook feels his heart shatter when a drop of liquid falls onto his arm.

He uses his hold to twist Taehyung around by his hips and looks at his face. Eyes filled to the brim with tears, can't help but lean forward to kiss away the one that's trailing down his cheek, "baby, I am not breaking up with you" he finally says, feels Taehyung still "then what...why.."

Jungkook smiles softly, brings both of his hands to hold onto his boyfriend's face..letting his thumbs swipe away the rest of the tears that trickle down. "If you would've let me finish, what I meant by I think it's time for us to change...I meant to ask you to move in with me. Because I think it's ridiculous how we spend 3 nights a week here and 4 nights a week at your apartment when you could just move in and we'd save money and always be together" he smiles then, when he sees even more tears fall from Taehyung's eyes and the man sniffles loud "I th-thought...but I saw your text to Jimin.."

Jungkook rolls his eyes then "Yeah, my 'finally going to tell Tae, hopefully he understands' text is me not wanting you to be upset...I know you love your apartment because it's right by the dog park. Mine is just bigger so it makes more since for us to live here"

Taehyung's eyes widen when Jungkook gently kisses his lips, "so you aren't breaking up with me?" he whispers

Jungkook shakes his head slowly, "never"

Taehyung smiles then, just barely, lips kissing the palm of Jungkook's hand "you still love me?"

Jungkook nods without a doubt "always"

7 ✨ to shut them up.

Taehyung is annoyed. He's so tired of logging onto Twitter and seeing his roommate whining about being single. Every day it's the same thing, "just want snuggles" "someone come kiss these lips" and many other variations. It's infuriating.

Infuriating because While Jeongguk is whining to his twitter followers, he's sitting in Taehyung's bed head in his lap and playing with his fingers. Even when Taehyung tries to play his video games, Jeongguk will slide into his lap, saying "you're the only one who loves me hyungie, just let me cuddle you".

He never says no, because they've known each other forever. Jeongguk has always been his cuddly little Gukkie, but if he's so content with their endless cuddles why is he always whining on that damn app? So yeah, Taehyung is annoyed on his way home to see a spam of tweets from Jeongguk saying he's giving out free kisses.

Absolutely not.

When Taehyung walks through the door he's already met with a loud "Taehyunggggg, noone wants to come give me a kiss, this is so sick and twisted" the man chuckles, bitterly. "Maybe Twitter isn't the place you should be trying to get someone to kiss you, Guk"

Jeongguk pops his head out of their single bedroom then, y'know because a two bedroom flat is far too pricey and since Jeongguk ends up in his bed anyway, they may as well preserve their funds. "And where do /you/ suggest I get a kiss? These lips are kiss-less for the last 8 months"

Taehyung rolls his eyes at that, he remembers that night. Jeongguk clinging to some stuffy guy in a club and them making out in the back before Taehyung dragged Jeongguk home, getting bitched at for /cock blocking/ the whole ride home.

He wasn't blocking anyone's cock, he was just taking care of his best friend who shouldn't end up in bed with a total stranger. "Because you know something else Tae, I think you're getting tired of me.. So if I don't find someone to sweep me off my feet soon I may end up on the street because you're gonna be a meany head and pack my things and kick me to the cur—"

Taehyung can't take his rambling anymore when
he cuts Jeongguk off with his lips, it was only intended to shut him up. He wasn't expecting to fucking love it so much. The way Jeongguk gasped against his mouth and melted in his arms.

He surely wasn't expecting to want more, didn't even know what he was thinking when he parted Jeongguk's mouth with his tongue, but he doesn't care because Jeongguk tastes amazing. Tastes like nothing Taehyung's ever had before and he can't get enough. His fingers are balled up in the thin fabric of Jeongguk's t-shirt when he presses his back against the door frame to their room.

"Here, just get your kisses here" he barely croaks out, when Jeongguk pulls away just long enough to breathe and all Jeongguk does is nod before diving back in.

Taehyung decides to spend his night making up for the last 8 months and then some.

13 ✨ discreetly.

"Kook..not here.." Taehyung is whisper shouting, they've been playing this game of sneaking around for awhile now. Starting to embark into dangerous territory, their members are bound to find out.

"C'mon, they aren't paying attention. Just give me a kiss, give me the energy I need to perform" Jungkook smiles, sickeningly sweet yet sultry enough to lure Taehyung his way. He's so weak for him. Always giving in to his every request.

Looking to the left and the right, making sure their hyungs are too busy stretching and getting ready to go on stage. Then he feels Jungkooks hand around his waist and pulling him behind the black curtain separating them from the others, "quick" he murmurs

So Taehyung does, leans the rest of the tiny space and let's himself get lost for just a few short moments in Jungkook's arms, lips moving together fluidly. Making his stomach erupt with swarms of butterflies.

The pull away just as they hear steps, Jungkook quick to recover as if he's assisting Taehyung with his earring.

"Hurry up guys, we're going to the lift!" Hoseok shouts and they both shout that they're coming. Taehyung's looking in Jungkook's eyes when said man steals one more short kiss.

"Okay, let's go"

16 ✨ lazily.

The best days are the ones like this, where they're laying on a make shift bed in the floor, their best friend's all scattered throughout the room on the various couches. It's their favorite past time. Movie nights.

Taehyung and Jungkook have always loved being the center for get togethers. The laughter and noise of their hyung's makes their hearts feel full but it also makes moments like these that much sweeter.

As they cuddle together, movie serving purely as background noise to drown out the sounds of everyone else's snoring. Them two always being the last ones awake, maybe it's because they spent so many years waiting for the other's to fall asleep, so that they could be together.

Old habits die hard, especially when Taehyung grabs onto Jungkook's neck to pull him closer, just barely. There's a barely there press of his lips that Jungkook welcomes with a gratuitous nosie, softly moving together as their tongues slide in tandem. It's languid and lazy as if there's nothing else in the world worth their time other than this.

They both would agree, as countless minutes pass of just laying there..deep in the depths of their kiss and only parting to catch quick breaths. "Wanna go to our room?" Jungkook murmurs, chuckling lightly when Taehyung shakes his head "too sleepy to move" he whispers.

And Jungkook would never ever deny Taehyung anything that he wants, he makes to reach for the remote to turn off the t.v. They're bound to fall asleep soon anyway, as Taehyung slowly drags kisses all over his shoulder and neck, before their lips meet again. "Thought you're too sleepy" he giggles, fingers carding through the tufts of Taehyung's hair

"Never too sleepy to kiss you" the man responds against his lips before they combine again.

Jungkook often wonders how he ever fell asleep before this. Before his nights always ended in sleepy kisses until they both fell unconscious he doesn't care how he did it before, as long as he never has to return to that.

Taehyung manages to fall asleep first this time, Jungkook taking his time in pressing soft kisses all over his face "I love you" he thinks to himself before falling asleep, figures maybe that's how he'll start their day in the morning.

19 ✨ for luck.

"Woah, you alright Guk?" Taehyung's brows are cinched together as he crouches to his level. Jeongguk has his head hung low in his hands. "No, I'm so nervous Tae. If we don't win this game I lose it. I lose the scholarship, the chance to get out of here, everything is relying on this game"

He takes a deep breath then, he'd be lying if he said he wanted Jeongguk to go...SNU is too damn far from where Taehyung will be this time next year. Still, he gently rests his fingers on his boyfriend's chin, raising it so that their lips can brush "for good luck" he whispers before pressing their lips together in a kiss so warm he feels his body melting "you're gonna be amazing, Guk. Win for me."

Jeongguk smiles so brightly at him after that, hands quickly cupping Taehyung's cheeks and kissing him deeper. Pouring so many things into the kiss that Taehyung can't handle, "I love you so much, thank you" he says nuzzling their noses together before he gets up. Bringing Taehyung with him.

"You're gonna be out there right?" Taehyung nods with a bright smile "of course, what kind of number one fan would I be if I wasn't right on the sidelines next to you?"

And even if it hurts him to cheer Jeongguk on when their team wins, he still does. He's so proud of him for accomplishing his dreams, even if those dreams don't include him.

~

P.S: Jeongguk was actually going for a scholarship to the same university as Taehyung, but he didn't know that until it was time for them both to move 🥺

20 ✨ on a scar.

Taehyung's loved Jeongguk for a very long time. Long enough to know everything about the man. Knows when somethings bothering him, when he's hungry and when he needs a hug.

So of course he catches on immediately when Jeongguk seems to wear hooded things often. It started out just when they were in airports, but now he wears them everywhere. Even in the comfort of their dorm Jeongguk is wearing a damn hood.

Taehyung sneaks into his room after dinner one night, finding Jeongguk sitting in front of his bathroom mirror..fingers grazing the skin on his face where the scar he got as a child is. /oh./ so that's why...Taehyung feels his heart clench.

And he loves Jeongguk. Has loved his best friend for so long that it hurts him to see the way his shaky fingers trace the mark. He doesn't even know what's going through his brain when he steps inside the bathroom, fingertips gently touching Jeongguk's chin and his lips press a soft kiss to the scar.

He can see Jeongguk's cheeks go red the moment he pulls away and opens his eyes "everything about you is perfect" he says into the space between them. Unsure if he just crossed a line he shouldn't have, until one of Jeongguk's hands are grabbing onto his own and pulling him into his arms.

Holding him tight and face buried in his neck "How do you always know exactly what I need?" he says, making Taehyung's heart stutter. "Because I love you, Guk" he says without a doubt. Because it's true. He does.

"I love you too Tae. More than you'll ever understand"

21 ✨ on a place of insecurity.

Jungkook is so grateful for his swimming pool. For a few reasons, one? It's fucking hot. So it's really nice to dip in the water after a long day. Two? Maybe getting to see his brother's hot best friend with water dripping down his body is a big perk.

Jimin knows of Jungkook's big fat crush on Taehyung, has always teased him for it but he doesn't make him lose hope. He actually feeds it by telling Jungkook all of the things Taehyung says about him.

Right now? Jimin must really /love/ Jungkook because the three of them are swimming when Jimin urgently has to use the restroom. Leaving the two alone and Jungkook? Has always been good at taking advantage of an opportunity when one is given.

He's quick when he dives under the water and swims to Taehyung, grabbing onto his ankles and pulling him under. Earning playful smacks and a cute whine when they come back up for air, "sorry hyung, it was too easy"

Taehyung pouts "not all of us can be strong like you Koo, you don't have to show off" the man swims away then and Jungkook laughs heartily. Hops out of the pool to get them somethig to drink before he comes back to where Taehyung has his arms rested on the side and sitting right next to him.

His thigh is gently brushing Taehyung's arm and even the subtlest of touches makes his body feel like it's on fire. Jungkook notices immediately that Taehyung's eyes are locked on his stomach. He straightens up just a little, he's worked damn hard for these abs and his dream man is currently ogling them? That's a win.

Taehyung exhales heavily though, as if disappointed "Jungkookie, can you teach me how to work out?" Jungkook tilts his head in confusion, what on earth does Taehyung need to work out for? "My tummy is so pudgy, I hate it. You and Jimin-ah both have abs and I'm just here like a blob"

Jungkook scowls, how dare he? How dare Taehyung criticize himself? Doesn't he know how perfect he is? Doesn't he know how Jungkook dreams of him, exactly the way he is? "Taehyung, you don't need to work out, you're so damn hot. Seriously."

He watches the way the other's eyes go so wide he wonders if they'll pop out. Taehyung hops out of the pool then, seating next to Jungkook and pouting. Glancing down at his tummy. It's flat, but soft. There's no ridges where abs should be. Just soft tan skin.

Soft tan skin that Jungkook's fingers are dying to touch. He wonders how Taehyung would react if he did, cautiously he reaches a hand over to clasp onto his side playfully, earning a laughter from the man next to him. "See, fit perfectly in my hands" he winks, scooting just a bit closer. But close isn't close enough, he wants to be closer.

As close as possible, which is why he slides back into the pool, moving right in front of Taehyung and cautiously placing his hands on the mans thighs, spreading them enough just to make room for himself.

He can hear Taehyung's breath hitch when his hands wrap around his waist. Jungkook is looking up at him, Taehyung's eyes look glossy as he stares down on him "you're so pretty, Tae. so so pretty. Everything about you is so pretty." his words are softly spoken and maybe the sun has started to fry his brain cells because before he can stop himself he's pressing gently kisses to the skin of Taehyung's stomach.

Over and over and over, the skin feels so warm under his lips. He moves his hands to grab onto the edge of the pool, hoisting himself up until he's face to face with Taehyung "so damn pretty" he murmurs before kissing him, just barely because Jimin's squeals interrupt the moment.

"I knew it was too quiet out here"

22 ✨ in a rush of adrenaline.

He's been a drug runner all of his live, seemingly with no way out of this life. He was fine with it, spent his days in the apartment and his nights walking the streets and making deliveries.

Still, deep in the depths of his heart Taehyung had always longed for more. That more would sometimes come to him in a dream, in the form of the guy he had the hugest crush on back in high school.

Jeon Jeongguk, he was tall and handsome and fierce. All of the things Taehyung needed in his life. Still, time marches on.

and Taehyung wasn't expecting this run to go wrong. The boss hadn't told him they were having issues with the rival gang again, things mellowed out years ago.

Taehyung wasn't expecting to be handcuffed and dragged to the back seat of a van. His heart was pounding, desperate to find anyway out of this.

He prayed to the heavens that if they found him a way out he'd run. He'd never go back to the gang, he'd run as far as he possibly could.

Stopping for gas isn't what he thought would be his golden opportunity, but then he sees him. /him/. Jeon Jeongguk, on the other side of the pump, clad in sinfully tight black jeans and holy shit is that a tattoo on his arm?

So Taehyung does what any sane, captive would do, he starts banging against the side of the car using his shoulder, his head anything. Anything to get Jeongguk's attention.

He does.

They're eyes lock and he pleads. Hopes the words "Help Me" were clear enough and they must be. Because Jeongguk is running to the side of the car and Taehyung feels like he's going to faint.

Especially when the door slides open and Jeongguk grabs onto his arm "Taehyung?!" he shouts but he just murmurs "hurry. please hurry."

Taehyung doesn't even look towards the door, he's too scared to see the goons that grabbed him and captured him. He winces when Jeongguk uses a piece of metal from his bag to shatter the chain links of his cuffs.

They're still stuck on his wrists but he can move his hands again. "You're explaining everything when we get where we're going" is what Jeongguk says as he places the helmet over Taehyung's head but he currently feels like he's dreaming. He must be, so to prove to himself that his prayers worked he grabs onto Jeongguk's shoulders with his shaky hands and pulls him forward.

Gasping when their lips meet just barely because HOLY SHIT THIS ISN'T A DREAM. "I'm sorry—so sorry, I thought maybe this wasn't real—I don't know why I—"

Jeongguk just laughs, positions himself on the motorcycle behind Taehyung, strong arms caging him in and a breathy chuckle in Taehyung's ear "I'll accept it as a thank you—" is all he says before the engine is revved and they're off.

23 ✨ in relief.

"He's gonna say yes, you know?" Hoseok raises a brow at Jeongguk who is angrily chomping on his burger.

"No he won't. Why would Tae say yes to going on a stupid date with stupid Jason to the stupid movie?" he rolls his eyes when Hoseok laughs at him "because he's waiting for you to get him back"

"He doesn't want me back.." he feels his heart crack just a bit, he wishes Taehyung did. He's give anything to hold him again.

"Oh yeah? Is that why he always makes sure to flirt with Jason /here/ when they could literally go anywhere in the university? but no. They flirt in /our/ dorm where /you/ always are."

For a split second Jeongguk thinks maybe Hoseok is right, but then he hears Taehyung's giggles. Those giggles used to be reserved for him.

and he decides he's going to let Taehyung do whatever he wants. He's just his ex. However he wasn't expecting to walk into the living room and see Jason scooting closer to Taehyung on the sofa.

His arm is draped around his shoulder, finger tracing the exposed skin there while Taehyung smirks. no. this can't be happening.

Why did he ever dorm with stupid Jason anyway? right, because when he did, Taehyung was still his.

Taehyung's eyes meet his briefly before Jeongguk walks off to his room and slams the door shut. This is harder than he thought.

Maybe fifteen minutes later he sees his door opening, but he leaves his headphones plugged in when Taehyung is standing there. He doesn't need to hear it.

but Taehyung walks over to him, closer and closer until he's crawling on Jeongguk's bed. Not stopping until he's now crawling over his ex boyfriend, legs straddling his thighs and Jeongguk freezes.

what. the. fuck.

"Tae—" he goes to speak, hands removing his headphones before they rest on the waist in front of him—fuck he's really missed the way Taehyung feels in his hold.

"Jeongguk..."

"Did you say yeah?" he asks, Taehyung tilts his head in confusion "Hyung said Jason is asking you out today. Did you say yeah?"

Taehyung grins then, let's his finger tips tickle the skin of Jeongguk's neck as he scoots up even closer, their bodies are touching in every sense of the word.

"if i did?"

Jeongguk squeezes his waist insistently, "then you should go" he murmurs reluctantly. please, don't go.

Taehyung's eyes are boring into his own when his tongue swipes across his lips "and if I said no?"

Jeongguk's chest heaves, the guessing game is too much. The love in his heart for Taehyung is too strong to sit here and wonder.

"what if I said Jason has just been helping me make you jealous enough to ask for me back? then what would you say Jeonggukkie?" Taehyung's voice is deep and husky, words drawled out against the skin of his neck

Jeongguk's hands wrap all the way around Taehyung now, pulling him to where their chests are flush and he tilts his head to find his lips.

The sigh that they both let out as their mouths part is enough for them both to understand, "I'd say thank fucking God because I was gonna die if I had to see you with him one more time" then his mouth is back on Taehyung's and he quickly rolls them over.

"please tell me it was the third one. please." he whispers, voice almost desperate when Taehyung nods his head through their kiss "just wanted you back Guk, all I wanted"

~

Meanwhile Jason and Hoseok are high fiving in the living room when they have to turn up the t.v to drown out the noises from the other room.

24 ✨in danger.

"Don't do this" Taehyung pleads at his fiancé who's tying up to a bungee to jump from the bridge "it's too dangerous Koo"

"Baby, it's safe. I promise I'll be safe" Jungkook brings him in by his arms and kisses him. Two, six, twenty chaste pecks before he pulls away.

"Record me? okay. Then kiss the hell out of me when they pull me back up" he winks at Taehyung who's shaking hands are holding the camcorder.

"You've gotta come back up" he says, kissing his fiancé one last time as he's standing on the edge by the staff

"I will baby, I'm never leaving you alone" he finally says before stepping from the ledge and complete the dive.

Taehyung has his eyes clenched shut so he doesn't even know if he's recording in the right spot.

and he doesn't know how long he's waiting until there's a loud hoot in excitement and his eyes fly open to see Jungkook standing back on the cement, staff removing his harness and he stumbles towards Taehyung.

"Baby! oh my god that was amazing! it felt so incredible! i wanna do it again!" he says happily but Taehyung just kisses him again and again and again until Jungkook has to pull him apart.

"You worry so much my love...did you get the video?" Taehyung hands him the camera, frowning when Jungkook shows him that he never pressed 'record'

and he feels like he's going to cry when Jungkook laughs with a cheeky grin "BUST OUT THE HARNESS GUYS TAE FORGOT TO RECORD"

27 ✨ as a 'yes'

"Look, I'm not saying I'm a /bad/ kisser, I'm just saying I don't have enough experience to be classified as a /good/ kisser." Jeongguk is explaining to the gorgeous man seated next to him at the bar.

Brought on by his attempts at swooning which led said man to say "you kiss as well as you speak?" the question made Jeongguk blush, but of course..he plays coy

hook

tempting, teasing—leaving just a little bit of the line hanging "but you're welcome to be the judge"

line

the man, Taehyung laughs beautifully, head thrown back and Jeongguk can see the expanse of his tan neck, wants to litter it with red.

"mmm, I've always loved trying new things" Taehyung teases with a wink as he scoots to the edge of his barstool, practically sitting in between Jeongguk's legs when he leans over into his space.

sinker

Jeongguk's hand clasps onto Taehyung's nape the moment their lips connect, let's their lips move fluidly and pulls away by catching the man's bottom lip with his teeth.

"So? Am I a good kisser?" he whispers, voice low as his nose brushes against Taehyung's, he takes the way the other immediately slots their mouths back together as a yes.

32 ✨ to wake up.

Hotels are his least favorite. Hates them because they're always told what rooms to sleep in and the constant cameras make it hard to sneak away.

Sometimes though, Jungkook manages to wake up just at the right time of night. Smiling brightly when there's a room key slid under his hotel door and a text from his boyfriend "401"

The text was sent hours ago but Jungkook at that time was being recorded for a memories dvd so what else is he to do when it's 5 am and he knows the staff are getting a few hours of shut eye?

It's eerily quiet, when he opens the door to Taehyung's hotel room but almost immediately he can hear his breathing.

Just barely able to hear it over the whirring of the air conditioner but he does and he misses that sound so much.

He misses Seoul because he misses sharing a bed with his boyfriend every night, but what he misses the most is waking up with Taehyung's gorgeous face burrowed into his chest.

Footsteps of housekeeping can be heard in the hallways so Jungkook decides to turn on the tv, just something soft so that Taehyung can sleep as long as possible.

He manages to fall back asleep himself, with the comfort of having Taehyung in his arms—he sleeps soundly.

A text message wakes him up

//Sejin just asked for you, you're not in your room?

;;I'm with Tae. tell him i was showering, I'll come to his room in twenty.

Reluctantly Jungkook glances down at his sleeping boyfriend, finger tip tracing from the gap between his brows down the slope of his nose, before he can't resist the urge anymore and captures Taehyung's lips with his own.

Humming in contentment when Taehyung almost immediately wakes up, hands holding onto Jungkook's forearms "sorry for waking you—" he whispers, fingers tracing the side of Taehyung's face to which his boyfriend just smiles and shakes his head.

"don't be, I've missed waking up to this—" he gnaws on his lip before Jungkook combines theirs again

"I've gotta go but I wanted to be here when you woke up, wanted you to know I came" he smiles softly at Taehyung and pecks his forehead

"I'll see you in a little bit?"

"Not soon enough" Jungkook winks "Love you baby"

"Love you more, Jungkookie"

34 ✨ to pretend.

"are you sure you don't mind?"

Taehyung gulps, heavily "of course, whatever you need is what I'll do"

Jungkook nearly squeals in excitement "okay, so just when we get there y'know hold my hand, be cuddly—"

"so just be us?" Taehyung giggles but Jungkook shakes his head "us but amplified, it'll be easy to fool everyone else but it's mom and dad who have to believe it."

Taehyung nods, he's harbored feelings for Jungkook all of his life—pretending to be in love with him? will be the easiest thing he's ever had to do.

~

"Jungkoo-ah! Taehyung-ah! You made it!" Mrs. Jeon chirps happily when the two exit their taxi, Taehyung being sure to grab their single luggage in one hand and hold Jungkook's with the other.

Has his hand always been this soft?

"Tae, you're gonna have to tell me how my bun managed to win your heart? Someone as gorgeous as you must have men and women knocking down your door." Taehyung shakes his head at the comment, notices the way Jungkook's hand tightens on his own as if he's nervous

"You're right, there are plenty but none as valuable as Kookie—you should know this" he winks then, letting go of his boyfriends hand just enough to hug Mrs. Jeon

"You're both so big now, I can't believe it. When Jungkoo finally agreed to bring his boyfriend home I was honestly shocked when he said it was you"

the rest of the days go by like that, with Jungkook's family teasing him for bagging someone like Taehyung—meanwhile Taehyung feels like they're all idiots if they don't see how he is the lucky one to even pretend to be Jungkook's boyfriend.

He wishes, lord knows how he's prayed to actually be in this position—but he'll take what he can get.

It's the ending of a wedding reception for Jungkook's cousin when they get separated. Taehyung was talking to one of Jungkook's uncles when he lost sight of his date.

Going to search for him he finds Jungkook outside, talking to some guy who's taller than him. Taehyung recognizes him immediately as Suemin. Jungkook's first crush—he winces when he sees Suemin place an arm around Jungkook's waist.

Any other time he wouldn't be able to react but everyone at this party thinks Jungkook is his and damn it if he isn't going to take full advantage of that knowledge.

Hastily walks up and flicks the hand off of Jungkook's waist "hey baby, this one bothering you?" he murmurs into the crook of Jungkook's neck.

He humms, Jungkook fucking humms. Taehyung thinks he's going to die when Jungkook leans back into his chest "was just talking Tae, don't worry" he whispers back.

but Taehyung's eyes are glaring at the man staring at the two of them, "didn't realize you brought someone?"

Taehyung laughs, forced "I'd hope he brought me—considering I'm his boyfriend" the man's mouth makes an exaggerated O shape as he raises his hands in defeat.

"Sorry, I'm sorry—it was great catching up with you Jeon. Call me sometime?"

but Jungkook didn't hear him, he's indulging way too heavily in having Taehyung's mouth on his neck because even though Suemin is away he doesn't stop.

He just keeps peppering the skin with his parted mouth and nipping in some places, it's when Jungkook turns in his arms that they're staring at each other and he feels his heart racing.

Fuck he's got it bad. but Taehyung isn't stopping either so maybe this is all a part of their pretending...right?

That's what he tells himself at least as they make their way back into the reception to say goodbyes.

Taehyung's hand doesn't leave his waist for a moment. Mr. Jeon hands then the keys to the car, signaling them to wait outside.

When they do Jungkook can't help it because Taehyung's hands are all over him and okay—so maybe it'd be good for his parents to see them kissing. Really seal the deal?

So when he sits on the hood of the car and Taehyung stands in between his legs he doesn't shy away, only pulls him in even closer and feels intoxicated by the warmth of Taehyung's breath on his mouth.

"Maybe we should—"

"yeah—we definitely should—"

then their lips are together and for two people that are pretending to be in love this feels a whole lot more passionate than it should.

Taehyung sucks hard on Jungkook's tongue and the noise it causes does something to the problem arising in his jeans.

"ngh—Tae—" he goes to speak but Taehyung doesn't stop licking into his mouth, his fingertips slide under the hem of his shirt just enough to tease the warm skin and Jungkook realizes all too quickly that he doesn't want it to stop.

Doesn't want him to stop ever.

"Yah! no canoodling on the family car!" Mr. Jeon shouts meanwhile Mrs. Jeon is a giggling mess at the sight of her sons flushed cheeks "save that for when you guys go home tomorrow silly"

right, for when they go home.

36 ✨ to give up control.

"What are you fighting for?? hmmm??" Taehyung winces, the cold barrel of the gun is pointed straight up at his chin "C'mon doll, you know what I want...don't make me give you up.."

Taehyung grits his teeth, especially when Jeongguk trails a hand up his thigh, curling inwards. Damn bastard remembers all of his favorite places to be touched.

Proves this when the very hand that's gripped in his thigh trails up his body, stopping at the back of neck and gripping onto the long curled locks resting there, yanking his head back and almost getting a moan. "You've always loved it when I had you like this, right in the palm of my hand—didn't think I'd find out you were working for Wooshik hmm?? Thought you'd be able to work for him during the day but spend your nights in my sheets? you should know me better than that doll. You've witnessed me kill a man for doing similar things"

Taehyung's breath hitches when Jeongguk's lips hover over his own—he should be terrified, he partially is. The gun barrel is digging into his chin but for some reason he doesn't think Jeongguk will shoot him.

Maybe it's because he's felt the way the man treasures him, holds him delicately in his arms when they're in bed together. So he uses what he knows, a feint whimper falling from his lips "Gukkie—"

Jeongguk clenches his jaw, this hurts. Fuck it hurts knowing Taehyung is the reason Wooshik ruined his operation today.

But does that knowledge hurt more than holding his gun against the man he loves, the man he planned to propose to this same weekend? it could never compare.

"You aren't gonna get me to back down Taehyung, so you need to decide. Sell out Wooshik, give me the location of their HQ or I'll kill you. I swear I'll kill you and then weep at your funeral because I loved you so much." he coughs a little, just the thought of Taehyung being dead makes his heart ache almost unbearably so.

Taehyung is so torn, this has always been his game. He's always held all the tokens, had the luxury of deciding whose side he wanted to play on each day. Whose side would benefit him more. This wasn't supposed to happen like this, Wooshik wasn't supposed to be caught.

He was supposed to get away, so they could turn and rob him the next week. Taehyung reaping in high payouts from both missions. Things would've evened out. He would've had everything in his control.

Fuck.

Jeongguk just cocked the gun. He's gonna pull it, he's gonna kill him—Taehyung is going to be killed by the love of his life.

He closes his eyes, is it worth this? Is feeling in control worth never holding Jeongguk again? When did he become so weak that he'd rather be protected by the same man he set out to take down all those years ago?

It was probably the first time their eyes met, when it was totally coincidental and Taehyung immediately fell for deep doe eyes and a sweet smile.

Before he knew just how wicked that smile could be or how sultry it could turn. Before he fell in love. The vacancy in this building is terrifying, Jeongguk intentionally leaving it so it was just them.

He startles when the gun shifts, digs a little deeper but Jeongguk's lips are ghosting his own again and Taehyung just wants to taste...if he's going to die anyway "Baby..." Jeongguk drawls, tongue diving out to swipe at Taehyung's bottom lip "Just tell me where I can find that bastard, you know I'll give you the world if you just stay faithful to me. I'll even look past everything that happened today... just give up"

Taehyung is going to, but before he can speak there's the echoing ring of the gun fire in his ears.

Jeongguk pulled the trigger... but wait

"that's how much I love you, I never even loaded it" the gang leader whispers before throwing the gun away and staring at Taehyung with a blank expression "but you don't even love me enough to leave that asshole who takes advantage of everyone that works for him—so go, but please don't put me in this position again, because next time? the gun will be loa—"

"Jeongguk!" Taehyung shouts, hastily moving from the chair and throwing his arm around the man from behind "you didn't let me answer"

"It shouldn't have taken this much." his voice is cold, he sounds hurt

"I'm sorry, I was scared and you were so close and I just—" Taehyung shakes his head, slowly moving to the other side and facing Jeongguk "I love you, I really love you. I had a plan—I wasn't betraying you, I was always going to come back to you"

Jeongguk seems like he doesn't believe him but then Taehyung is pulling out a phone he doesn't recognize, "the passcode is your birthday, everything about Wooshik's clan is there. please. let me come home."

Jeongguk always knew he was weak, embarrassingly weak for Taehyung when he lets their lips press together gently as he pockets the cellphone and pulls the love of his life into his arms "thank you" he murmurs

Taehyung wondering what for, why the hell is Jeongguk thanking him but then there's lips on him again "thank you for not making me live the rest of my life without you"

37 ✨ without a motive.

Taehyung's been stumped in the studio for hours, trying to paint something of value for his showcase.

Nothing happens though, he needs something. Anything. Right then there's a familiar tapping at the door, most likely his best friend making sure he's still breathing.

"You good Taetae?" Jungkook's voice asks, the man must've just left his studio himself

"Yeah I'm about to head home, just don't wanna leave with nothing to show for it." he shrugs then, figures if he hasn't painted anything in 6 hours it isn't going to come now.

Packs his things quickly and heads to the door, Jungkook is standing there smiling at him, too soft of a smile for Taehyung to handle. He feels heat rising to his cheeks when he places a hand on his chest to shove "yah Kookie move!" but Jungkook's hand catches his wrist and makes him stumble forward.

Taking Taehyung and himself by surprise when he presses their lips together. "w-what was that for?" Taehyung barely manages to ask once they part.

Both flustered with red cheeks when Jungkook gulps heavily "I don't know.."

Taehyung looks even more confused "did you like it??" he asks quietly scared to admit that he did first but Jungkook is already dipping his head slowly and tilting it so that he can kiss Taehyung better.

Properly this time, feels all of the oxygen leaving his body only to be refilled with the air Taehyung is breathing into him.

"yeah—I liked it, a lot"

38 ✨ because they are running out of time.

"It's a part of the project Jeongguk!" Mina rolls her eyes, can't believe this guy was given the lead roll in the senior class production

"don't care, I'm not kissing her" he crosses his arms then, hears the slamming of something on the desk

"It's Sleeping Beauty Jeongguk, if you don't KISS the princess she never wakes up!! We have to give the recordings over to Suga-hyung and Namjoon-hyung to finish editing for us this weekend there's no time for your pride ass behavior!" It's Hoseok and Jin now scowling at him, he managed to talk his hyungs into helping his class with this project but he didn't know he was gonna have to kiss someone.

His first kiss is supposed to be special.

"Find a way to edit it without the—"

"TAEHYUNG-AH!! COME KISS JEONGGUKKIE SO WE CAN ALL LEAVE" Jimin shouts then, Jeongguk is ready to crawl in a hole and die

"Jimin! why would you do that Taehyung would nev—"

"why am I kissing Jeonggukkie?" Taehyung says then, walking in straight from Jeongguk's dream last night and smiling beautifully at him.

"We need a kiss scene for the project but he refuses to kiss Dahyun." Jimin scowls, Taehyung smirks at Jeongguk.

"She's pretty, Guk why won't you kiss her?" he pouts, walking over to the bed that Dahyun's scene is performed on.

"Don't wanna.." he murmurs, refusing to meet his gaze.

"There's not much time y'know? you guys'll fail if you don't complete the scene" Taehyung starts to lay down on the bed, covering himself with the blanket of velvet and flowers before guiding the camera guy to film from a lower angle shooting upwards.

"C'mon handsome, come kiss me so you and your classmates can go home" Taehyung is laying there, inviting and Jeongguk doesn't want to seem desperate.

I mean he's spent the last three hours refusing to kiss Dahyun, how ridiculous would he look if he practically ran to kiss Taehyung? a.k.a the guy he's had a crush on since he was 12??

Pretty damn ridiculous. but does he care? not at all, he's standing over the table in a heart beat and the auditorium is already filling with giggles and clapping.

"Any day now stud... clock is ticking" Taehyung winks before closing his eyes and letting his lips part, Jeongguk takes in a deep breath before he clasps the edge of the bed and lowers himself to kiss Taehyung.

It only needed to be a millisecond, just long enough to show that he did it but Taehyung's lips are addictive.

From the first touch he knew he'd never be able to get enough, as he tilts his head and presses his lips firmer, nearly passing out when the tip of Taehyung's tongue grazes his own before they pull away.

His own cheeks red and Taehyung a giggling mess "damn Day, you missed out Jeonggukkie knows what he's doing"

and if they made out in the auditorium for hours after every left, well that's no ones business.

40 ✨ because the world is ending.

"daddy, what's going to happen to all of us now?" the little girl asks as she holds on tight to her father's hand.

The tall cement gate separating them from the impending explosion slowly beginning to open, "I don't know baby. Right now we're just going to find papa okay? so that no matter what happens, us three can be together." Jungkook smiles then, taking his daughter into his arms and placing her over his shoulders.

Her eyes are being used to spot any signs of his husband. Any sign that the escape plans they made followed through. That the months of practicing this route out of here was worth it.

The sirens of warning have his heart pounding, the moment the sirens begin they have exactly 6 minutes to get to the underground bunker they began crafting the moment the war began 2 years ago.

Taehyung was brilliant, he predicted everything. So where is he? He promised. Jungkook feels his resolve crumbling with every second that passes. Taehyung promised they'd see through the end together.

That's the only reason he agreed to leave him behind. The faith he had in his husband to find them here when the sirens sang.

The tiny fingers gripping into his hair tell him there's nothing. "We've gotta go daddy" Jieun sniffles "we promised papa we'd go. we're running out of time"

Jungkook squeezes onto her tighter, she's right and she deserves to make it out of this. So he runs, runs as fast as he can down the perfectly flattened path that he helped Taehyung construct, a clear running path to lead them to their bunker hidden in the depths of the woods it's a 2 minute run at his fastest. 2 minutes and 15 seconds with Jieun on his shoulders.

He pulls her down swiftly to cradle her as the clearing comes to an end, his tears are falling and he can't stop them.

It wasn't like supposed to end like this. Taehyung promised. He promised.

Once the sirens raise in pitch that means there's only one minute remaining before the explosion. It takes 15 seconds to completely seal the vault of their bunker.

Jungkook waits.

waits.

waits.

Jieun is shouting at him to close it but he can't, he can't close it with Taehyung out there. but he has to. because their beautiful daughter is here and she's alive and it has to stay that way so he kisses her forehead as he goes to the metal door.

He's about to pull down when he can hear it "JUNGKOOK! JIEUN!" it's loud but it's him.

Jungkook doesn't care about the door, he doesn't care about locking it entirely, not as long as Taehyung is with them in the end.

Jieun is right next to him "PAPA WE MADE IT!" she's shouting but Jungkook knows their down to 27 seconds.

He can finally see Taehyung's tufts of hair. His leg appears wounded but he's running faster than he's ever seen him run before.

19

18

17 and then he's tumbling into the bunker and falling into Jungkook's arms.

16

15

"DADDY CLOSE THE DOOR NOW!" Jieun shoves Jungkook and he pulls the vault down with every ounce of strength he has.

Taehyung helping him in twisting the handle to extend the metal vines into the ground, securing them for impact.

5

4

"we made it" Taehyung whispers, holding Jieun in his arms

3

2

"don't ever scare me like that again" Jungkook chokes out through his sob as he holds his family in his arms. Kissing his husband with everything he has.

Like it's the last chance he'll ever get.

1

"I love you" "I love you" "I love you"

42 ✨ out of pride.

"I don't back down from dares" Jeongguk scoffs, taking a drink of his beer before placing it down. Noticing the way Jimin's eyes glint playfully

"okay, then go kiss Taehyung"

Jeongguk almost chokes then, Taehyung as in his ex Taehyung? "No. that's just cruel."

Jimin mocks him immediately "I dOnT bAcK dOwN fRoM dArEs—go do it, just plop down on his lap and kiss him, you've been ogling him all night anyway.

Jeongguk breathes in heavily, he's never said no to a dare he's not going to let Taehyung change that..not even beautiful, perfect, amazing, charming Taehyung could ruin his streak.

So he does exactly as Jimin says, struts right over to where the man is sitting..long legs sprawled out along the couch and sits across his lap, leans in to capture his lips immediately.

Leaving no time for Taehyung to embarrass him or ruin his dare.

when he gets up to return he's surprised when a finger grabs the loop of his jeans and yanks him back "you can't just do that and then walk away" Taehyung says breathlessly

Jeongguk looking into his eyes that seem so warm, warmer than ever before and maybe by the end of the night they're boyfriends again and Jimin will take credit for this for the rest of their lives.

45 ✨ out of anger.

"so that's it?!" Taehyung paces back and fourth, he can't believe this. Can't believe Jeongguk is just going to walk away. "we worked so hard for this, to make this happen for you and you're just gonna give it up. Say the idol life isn't for you?!"

Taehyung is in his face then, shoving his shoulders a little because Jeongguk isn't even responding "C'mon! at least answer me! Tell me why! What's possibly worth giving up the life you've dreamed of since we were toddlers?! The life we've spent the last 6 years working towards!"

Jeongguk finally looks at him then and Taehyung is so confused when the man walks towards him.. closer and closer until his back is pressed against the wall and Jeongguk's lips are against his.

Hot and heavy and feverish the way their mouths collide and Jeongguk licks into his mouth, Taehyung willingly parting his lips with an exasperated whine.

Jeongguk pulls away almost instantly but his hands are clutching Taehyung's waist as he rests their foreheads together with a shaky breath "this is why. because I can't have that life and you, I saw the contract today. They explicitly outlined me using their managers and reducing contact with outsiders for the first two years of debut. So yeah be pissed and yell and fight but damn it Taehyung the best part of these 6 years has been being with you. No career or debut or future is worth anything if you aren't in it."

46 ✨ out of envy or jealousy.

Jungkook is tired. Sick and tired of watching idle by as these men come in and out of Taehyung's life as they please.

None of them cherish his Taehyungie the way he deserves and not a damn one of them is worthy of him anyway.

and it's another one of those days when Jungkook gets home to the apartment and sees some guy hovering over Taehyung through the crack of his bedroom door.

fuck it hurts and makes his hands ball into fists. Ready to barge in and blast the guy into the next week because he wants to be him.

Wants to be the guy holding Taehyung close and kissing him in public and in private. Wants his gorgeous roommate all to himself.

He goes out then deciding he can't handle another hour of hearing all the noises he wants to be the cause of.

Hurries out of the apartment, and when he comes back a few hours later Taehyung is in their kitchen wearing only a large black T shirt ....Jungkook's shirt.

and it pisses him off because someone else got to see this. Got to see Taehyung's gorgeously tan skin adorning only his shirt. it's not right.

"I was wondering where you went" Taehyung finally says then turning to smile at Jungkook and damn him for having such a gorgeous smile "have a good day?"

Jungkook grits his teeth "no actually, I had a shit day" Taehyung frowns, immediately walking over to Jungkook and wrapping his arms around his neck.

He's always been so touchy and so lovey and it drives Jungkook absolutely mad. "Why did you have such a bad day Jungkookie? Wanna talk about it?"

Jungkook shakes his head briefly before he brings his hands to Taehyung's hips, something he doesn't normally do. Letting them lift the fabric of his shirt and he hears Taehyung's breath hitch.

"I'm getting so tired of seeing everyone else get to have their hands on you, but not a damn one of them deserves it. None of them deserve you" he murmurs, mouth finding its way to the line of Taehyung's jaw, ghosting the skin and sending chills down both of their spines.

"Koo—what?"

"Can't take it anymore, want you for myself. All mine." then his lips are on Taehyung's and it's better than he thought it would be.

Soft and sweet and the man's legs come up to wrap around his waist immediately when he grabs onto his thighs.

"took you long enough" is all Taehyung says as they make their way to Jungkook's bedroom.

48 ✨ out of habit.

College goes by quicker than Jeongguk thought it would, everything goes by quicker than he thought it would.

Which is why he's flabbergasted when the invitation to his 10 years high school reunion is in his hands.

10 years? huh.

He goes though, wouldn't miss the opportunity to see all of the peoples he's missed and if his eyes are looking for one man in particular—well no one has to know.

It's Namjoon that he spots first, "Hyung?! what are you doing here wasn't your 10 years reunion years ago?" he laughs hugging the man tight

"Yah! you brat I'm here with Minnie. He seemed to have found the third part of your trio" he winks pointing to the two and his heart is already pounding before he even sees him.

Kim Taehyung, the one that got away. God knows what Jeongguk would give to go back in time and never say good bye to him.

and it feels like no time at all has passed when their eyes meet and Taehyung's face lights up. Rushing over to him the way he used to when they were together, Jeongguk already preparing himself for the weight that's sure to be in his arms in only a few seconds.

He's quick when he twists Taehyung around just barely "Jeon Jeongguk!" Taehyung murmurs into the skin of his neck, still doing that thing with his voice that always used to make Jeongguk's body shutter.

"Hey gorgeous" he responds putting the man down, can't believe he hasn't aged a day since he last saw him.

All he's done is grow a few centimeters, otherwise he's still every bit as beautiful as he was.

They spend the entire night talking and reminiscing. Taehyung talks about how he was married for all of 72 days—what a nightmare that was.

Jimin and Namjoon are long gone when the familiar tune fills the room. Jeongguk feels his heart clench when he sees the way Taehyung's eyes sparkle, "alright, which one of our friends is dj-ing?" he asks, knowing full well that everyone in their group knew All of Me was their song.

The countless times they would sing it together, dancing to it at their prom. The song easily defined the four years they spent together—it's a song Jeongguk can't hear even to this day without picturing Taehyung's warm eyes looking up at him.

So it's without hesitation that he stands up, pulling the man into his arms and guiding him to the dance floor.

Old classmates tease them, asking if they're married yet. Though everyone knows they broke up, Taehyung can remember how many people sobbed along with him "if you guys can't make it, then the rest of us are doomed" is what so many of the girls he did theatre with said when he told them they were separating before college

What would I do without your smart mouth? Got my head spinning, no kidding I can't pin you down.

Taehyung giggles as he asks Jeongguk if he remembers their first kiss. As if he'd ever forget the way Taehyung cheered him on after his baseball game. Dressed cutely in a red beret and a jersey with his name on the back.

Cards on the table,
We're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

"I always wondered if things would've been different" Taehyung admits "but look at you, Mr. Seoul's youngest and hottest CEO" he wiggles his brows "you turned out just amazing Jeonggukkie"

'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

Jeongguk smiles beautifully when he swirls Taehyung in his hold, just as smoothly as he did all those years ago and he didn't mean to.

Really but it was just so perfect the way Taehyung swiftly moved right back into his arms, all too perfectly for him to dip the man barely and press their lips together, just like he did before.

His whole body is trembling when they stand back up, Taehyung's face unreadable that he thinks he might be sick "I'm so sorry-I don't know why I—" but Taehyung is cupping his cheeks gently pressing their lips together so soft Jeongguk really thinks he's going to cry.

"Old habits die hard, hmm?" Taehyung whispers against his lips, dragging the peck out as slow as possible, seemingly not wanting to pull away "y'know....I've asked myself before what I'd do if I ever had a chance to be with you like this again" he laughs softly "I never knew what the answer was. Time changes everything, yet here I am in this same gymnasium in these same arms and I feel every bit as in love with you as I did when I was 17"

Jeongguk is rendered speechless by Taehyung's words, "Taehyung—you have no idea—" he gulps, he has to say this right "no idea how many times I've dreamt of having you again, except I've always told myself if I could go back, I'd have never let you go"

Taehyung's eyes are wide before they soften, crinkling into those tiny crescents that Jeongguk loves as he wraps the man's arms around his middle "so don't let me go"

and Jeongguk won't, not now, not ever.

50 ✨ out of love.

It's been raining for three days. Seeing as Jeongguk's job as a photographer requires him to spend a lot of time outdoors, he's enjoyed the serenity of these last few days.

Taking time to edit photos for customers, put together videos and spend lots of time snuggling Taehyung.

Probably too much time snuggling Taehyung but hey, that's the perk of doing freelance work. He smiles as he goes through the various file folders on his laptop.

Unable to resist the urge to open the folder of pictures that were Taehyung's wedding present to him. the man bought several gorgeous outfits, some discreet and others? not.

Then he let Jeongguk take countless images, he always said Taehyung would've been a world renowned model if he'd wanted to.

but his gorgeous husband has a love for children that goes far beyond anything people who don't love children could understand.

and Jeongguk may be selfish but he's grateful that the only person Taehyung's ever posed for us him.

He is the only one with the luxury to stare at these images whenever he so feels like it. His own private collection, for their eyes only.

Fuck he loves his husband so much. Can't drag his eyes away from the screen, not until the door knob is twisting and there's tiny footsteps running in "appa guess what! I'm going to uncle Jinnie's house tonight!"

"That's amazing Binnie" he finds Taehyung's eyes then, scrunching his nose at the playful wink his husband sends "why don't you go grab your sleepover bag while I help papa settle in?"

Soobin drops his backpack and Naruto runs to his bedroom, making his parents laugh "he got that from you!" Taehyung says poking Jeongguk's chest, he can't even deny it.

Just wraps his arms around Taehyung's waist and presses their lips together beautifully "welcome home love"

"hi baby" Taehyung mutters against his lips "how was your day?" he glances over Jeongguk's shoulder and his cheeks turn crimson when Soobin's voice is loud

"WOAH PAPA WHY DON'T YOU HAVE HARDLY ANY CLOTHES ON IN THIS PICTURE?!" Taehyung slaps Jeongguk on the side of the head before he rushes over to slam the laptop shut

"Yah! that wasn't me! it was a uh—a model!" Soobin laughs "Papa you think m'stoopid or somethin??"

Seokjin enters their home at that time, wondering what all the ruckus is and laughing ridiculously loud when the youngest of the Jeon's shouts "APPA HAS NAKED PICTURES OF PAPA ON HIS LAPTOP AND WAS LOOKING AT THEM TODAY"

Taehyung's face is as red as crimson robe he was wearing in the pictures meanwhile Jeongguk can't stop his laughter.

Even when the door is shut and Taehyung is in his arms again pouting "it's not funny... he's not supposed to see those"

Jeongguk caresses Taehyung's face gently "he's 8 baby, he won't remember this years from now"

Taehyung should use his knowledge as a child psychologist to explain to Jeongguk that yes he will remember this but his husband has a way of distracting him.

Hands trailing dangerously low to his waistline and lips on his collarbone, "missed you all day" he breathes against the skin, making Taehyung shiver

His voice shutters as he lazily presses their lips together "mmmm—god I love you" he whispers making Jeongguk laugh into their kiss "love you more, always love you more"
